What's Pulling the Carriage?

Whether we are goal setting, dreaming or in the midst of turmoil, we have to decide where to begin or how to end. Determining our paths can be exciting and also terribly horrifying depending upon the situation. To paraphrase a famous writer, Clifford Harris, learn to just do things. Courage is born from adversity once you go through it.

In the midst of turmoil, a person has choices, whether to stay and fight, whether to run, or whether to walk away. Either way, it seems that the most basic explanation of why a person chooses a course of action is based upon the title of this post: What's Pulling the Carriage? What is the motivating factor in the situation? What drives the person? What influences are strongest in a person's life? These and more questions may be asked to determined what's pulling the carriage. The answers to these questions may offer great insight and may unlock the secrets of one's true character.

So, as we go about our days, ask ourselves, what (or who) is pulling my carriage? What is allowing me or pushing me to do the things that I do? What is the strength that pushes and pulls you along life's journey?
